CVE-2025-30105 is a high-severity vulnerability identified in Dell XtremIO storage systems, specifically version 6.4.0-22. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-532, which involves the insertion of sensitive information into log files. In this case, sensitive credentials or other confidential data are improperly logged by the XtremIO system. A low-privileged attacker with local access to the affected system can exploit this vulnerability by accessing these log files and extracting sensitive information such as credentials. These credentials could then be used to escalate privileges or gain unauthorized access to the XtremIO application with the compromised account's privileges. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8, indicating a high level of severity. The vector details show that the attack requires local access (AV:L), low attack complexity (AC:L), and low privileges (PR:L), with no user interaction (UI:N). The impact is critical across confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H), and the scope is changed (S:C), meaning the vulnerability affects components beyond the initially vulnerable component. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the potential for credential exposure poses a significant risk. The lack of available patches at the time of reporting increases the urgency for mitigation. This vulnerability is particularly concerning because logging sensitive information violates security best practices and can lead to severe downstream impacts if attackers retrieve and misuse these credentials.

For European organizations using Dell XtremIO storage solutions, this vulnerability presents a significant risk. Exposure of sensitive credentials through logs can lead to unauthorized access to critical storage infrastructure, potentially compromising data confidentiality and integrity. Given that XtremIO is often deployed in enterprise data centers for high-performance storage, exploitation could disrupt business operations, cause data breaches, and lead to regulatory non-compliance under GDPR due to unauthorized data access. The ability for a low-privileged local attacker to escalate privileges increases the threat from insider threats or attackers who have gained limited access through other means. This could result in lateral movement within the network, data exfiltration, or sabotage of storage resources. The high impact on availability also suggests potential for denial-of-service conditions if attackers manipulate the system after gaining elevated access. Overall, the vulnerability could undermine trust in critical storage infrastructure and lead to significant financial and reputational damage for affected European enterprises.

1. Immediate mitigation should focus on restricting local access to Dell XtremIO systems to trusted personnel only, employing strict access controls and monitoring. 2. Implement enhanced logging and monitoring to detect unusual access patterns to log files or attempts to read sensitive information. 3. Use encryption and access controls on log files to prevent unauthorized reading of sensitive data. 4. Regularly audit log files for sensitive information leakage and remove or redact any credentials found. 5. Apply the vendor's patches or updates as soon as they become available; in the meantime, consider disabling or limiting verbose logging features that may record sensitive information. 6. Employ multi-factor authentication and strong credential management to reduce the impact of credential exposure. 7. Conduct internal security awareness training to highlight the risks of local access exploitation and encourage reporting of suspicious activities. 8. Segment the network to isolate storage systems and limit lateral movement opportunities for attackers who gain local access. These measures go beyond generic advice by focusing on controlling local access, protecting log data, and preparing for patch deployment.
